How many times did you guys take the cpa exam? Total sections

Hi all!
I’m thinking of taking the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) exam. Does this certification make a difference in salary? I am currently a payroll specialist. I want to take my career next level payroll manager to be precise? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve reached a point in my career where I want to take a step back and do an easy job just for the medical insurance benefits. Any ideas what I could do (or who is hiring)? Would contracts manager/admin/specialist be an easy job?

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies? I work in a collegial environment with plenty of opportunities to create more value, but the management level is fairly crowded and it seems the clearest path to get one of those roles is to be hired into it. What has been your experience? Thanks!

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

Those who exited MBB, what were your options? I know I don’t want to stay in consulting and feel like trying industry soon. Most of my background is in finance and strategy.

I’m a certified Health Coach (my training/courses are CCE-accredited by the International Coach Federation) w/ a BS in Psychology. I got a temp to hire starting at $18/hr. It is my first professional health coach job & they did not require temps to have a coaching certification, but I have one. I’d like to know if temps could negotiate salary when given the job offer. The position is remote & I’d like $20/hr. I’ve invested in myself as a coach & plan to complete board certification by early 2023

Currently creating spend analysis and doing vendor onboarding work for my company. It’s becoming a little mundane after 3-4 years. This was my first job out of college and I don’t really know how I got into this path. Graduated in business management and marketing. I am super creative and feel like a need a job that allows me to showcase that, but not sure what. Wondering if anyone works in the business world but also mixes with the creative side.

Best firms for healthcare transactions?

I’ve been practicing for 6 years in-house at a media company (was a startup when I joined and is now more established), straight out of law school. Due to the small nature of our team (3 legal members), I have been involved in all areas of our business and even advise c-suite frequently about legal risks. I received a promotion, with another title bump on the horizon this year. I have an opportunity to go to a start-up media company as the sole attorney. Anyone else have experience doing this?

EAs who manage people / have direct reports -- did your title change when you took on people management? What is your official title now?

(Context - trying to decide what title to recommend for EAs in our org who now manage people. Currently, we have multiple levels, but all EAs have the "Executive Assistant" title regardless of seniority / level / manager status.)

Is there any remote work available with base pay?? I’ve exhausted myself with Indeed, Zip Recruiter, and Glassdoor job searches and my unemployment is over 😭😭

Can I change my base location from Bangalore to Mumbai? I am having an offer from capgemini but it's from Bangalore, HR told me you can change your location later on,
So can I change my base location?

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

Deloitte 🐠, applied with a referral over a month ago and haven’t heard anything back yet. Should I chalk it up as a loss?

What's the shortest amount of time you've spent at a job? Or know of

Every walkthrough that lasts longer than 2 hours makes me want to quit

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

Just crafted a wonderful email to the client detailing information on how much tax they aren't gonna pay, all I get is "thanks".

Office bathrooms should have signs that say employees must wash hands before leaving...

Health question: How to deal with chronic back pain? I may have a herniated disc and wondering if surgery is a viable option. I hate being restricted actively and constantly reinjuring myself.

I bet if it were 300B in PPP loans nobody would bat an eye. It’s only when individual taxpayers get a break that everyone becomes a policy expert.

Anyone else fantasizing of quitting right before busy season?

Happy Pride, all y’all 🌈🐠🐟🌈 out here!

Did anyone else receive an email saying a coworker invited you to join? I can’t seem to figure out who invited me.

How do i see my utilization?

Hey KPMG how is life in the FRM advisory? Got a job offer from them

I am looking for a referral to Accounting Advisory.

Quick Background:

2.5 years Audit (Big4 and Small firm) + 1 year in FAAS.

Is it bad if I already find myself disliking my job 1 month in? Did anyone feel this way at first and then grow to like what they do?

I’ve seen a lot of recruiters recently trying to hire for advisory consulting firms that claim they do the work that Big 4 can’t because of independence issues. Does anyone think these types of firms are sustainable or will big 4 find a way around the independence restrictions and take this work back?

Is FDD in big 4 actively recurring senior associate? My raise at KPMG was low, so I am thinking about jump

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant.
